When I bought her, I was told she was fawn. It's listed on her pedigree as fawn. However, when I took her to get bred, the breeder said she was either lynx or opal (she wasn't really sure what she would fall under).

Here's a picture of how she looked then:

If you look at this one, you can see the darker color mixed in.

I need to get new pictures in the morning, but the darker color is more pronounced now. Her ears are getting dark, her head, and her body has gotten more dark than orange. She's really not even orange now...more like a light brown than orange.
 
My Fawns are going through a color phase like that with it being winter, when they molt again(they do every spring) their color corrects itself.
What other colors are on her pedigree?
 
Well, even before she had a LOT of dark hair on her. I've never seen a fawn before buying her, so took the breeder's word for it. Her father is a broken black, momma a frosted pearl. Father's side: Gfather was broken steel-black, gmother fawn. Mother's side: both Gfather/mother broken chestnut. The gmother's side has frosted pearl and blue.
